Care Day Awards

Care Day is all about celebrating and connecting young people with lived experience of care. This year, we want to recognise care experienced young people who have had a significant achievement, or who have made a contribution to their community. 

Nominations have now closed. Winners will be announced at a special CARE DAY AWARDS CEREMONY, to be held on Friday 21 February 2025. Young people with lived experience of care, and the adults supporting them, are invited to join us at the celebration event. To book your tickets, click the poster below!

Please remember, space is limited. If you book tickets and aren’t able to go to the event, please let us know (info@voypic.org / 028 9024 4888) so we can pass your tickets on to someone else.
